I whole-heartedly agree with JSullivan on this issue. Debate, but do not defame.
Imerica has done nothing wrong other than disagree with a number of people here. (And sometimes disagreement is not wrong...it can, at times, be healthy.)
Now, with that said:
Imerica, I have to say I think your support for Obama is misplaced. You sound like a decent person, and indeed in passing, Obama seems like a decent person and many of his stances on the issues seem not too bad as well. Even to me.
However, I know that coming from a Muslim background, as Obama does makes him dangerous to the United States and to Israel.
I know that Obama has supposedly converted to Christianity, BUT...how do you know...indeed how does anyone know...that this was not purely a political move on his part in order to gain Christian, black votes?
Many politicians are not above switching political parties, or even their religious affiliations if they believe doing so will get them elected.
A point here:
During the first Democratic Presidential Debates, Obama was asked about his thoughts on who our best allies are. Israel did not factor in once in his response.
All well and good.
However, when one thinks that Christians everywhere are taught (At least nowadays) the truth of what G-d says in the Bible, that He would "Bless those who bless Israel, and Curse those who curse Israel" you would think that Obama (As a now professing Christian) would consider Israel when thinking of who our allies are.
Instead, he went on a speech about how no one in the world has suffered as much as the Arabs in Gaza.
(Does Obama know that Israel supplies all the Arabs' water, electricity and most of their food? This, despite the fact that the Arabs have a declared intention of wiping out Israel?) If he does not know this, then at the very least it shows his lack of experience as a politician...and would you want someone that inexperienced running the country regardless of whether he was black, white or a woman?
And if he DOES know, and chooses not to think of Israel as a friend...what does that say about his Christianity?
These are things one should consider. I don't know if you are a Christian or not...but if so...the points I raised above are points that ought to give you pause.
